Description
The Beaded Accumulation Conveyor (Straight – Curved) belongs to the Accumulation Conveyors category and is classified under Product Transport Systems.
Compared to roller conveyor systems, ball accumulation conveyors are more cost-effective and easier to move. Application areas include:
- Picking Stations
- Packing Stations
- Assembly Lines
- Shipping Areas
- Warehouses
The beaded accumulation conveyor enables load movement through translational motion generated by rotating balls. As the load creates friction, the balls rotate and allow smooth forward movement of the material.
Ball conveyors are preferred for transporting lightweight materials with flat and solid bases such as cartons, boxes, crates, etc. Specifications may vary depending on the product type and operating environment. Acetal balls are commonly used.
A modular belt system is typically preferred as the carrier system. Two types are available: straight and curved.
